It's not impossible, but since WWE has been PG how many stories have driven you to watch Raw every Monday while the story was going on? Maybe the pipebomb era til the week Punk came back after he won the title. That's not very much for how long it's been PG. And I also said it because how many other PG shows have won you over like Breaking Bad or the Attitude era did? That was more my point then "It's impossible to write compelling tv that's also PG." But it is very hard to do so.

Not a lot has been very compelling since the PG era started but it has very little if anything to do with the PG rating. Wrestling HAS thrived outside of just the attitude era and there have been plenty of critically acclaimed TV shows and movies that were PG. It's a ridiculous excuse. WWE's problem is with making the characters credible an interesting. That's not hampered all that much by the inability to have them say naughty words.

PG does not have to equal 3rd grade toilet humor(that's more Vince's perception and sense of humor than anything else) It also does not mean you absolutely cannot do certain things you can still do them you'd just have to be creative in your presentation (Case in point) MLP has a lesbian couple a and has an episode dealing with the stages of grief after someone dies. Its a kids show but they pulled off any way. The big problem with the WWE is that the creative team is only Creative(ish)

The wrestling has been off the charts though I suspect thats more HHH and the fact that Vince can't just put giant immobile roid monkeys in the main event anymore and expect fans to eat it up.
